if it rains for 67 days of the year, and the water beads of sooo good at the end of the detail then that alone is worth it ... however im sure that detail cost him several thousand easily...

Looks like the iRobot ones lol.

Audi's are great... had an A4 a few years ago and it was a fine car. Handled, stopped and was kind of quick, but you cant beat german build quality.

Didn't the audi engineers held design the BA. This is what my old man said who worked for ford. Chech out the rear of a BA and compare it to say an A4... definately some similarities. Also the manual gear shifter and surrounds are very similar to a mates TT. Audi's are mint, will never be able to afford a decent one though :(

Ford did use the Audis design language while designing the BA, which as you say can be seen in the taillights, and also the headlights of the non XR BF2's, as the headlights are a dead ringer for the new A4's. The Orion takes this even further.

Looks like a lambo from behind.

that's no surprise, the R8 is built on a modified Gallardo platform.

Serious bit of kit but I'd settle for an old RS6.
